But this car is gorgeous. Found it trolling around CL. A very well built car with a lot of attention to detail and quality workmanship. Import or domestic we should all build are cars this nice.

12k is waaaay more than I would pay for a 13 year old integra no matter how nice it is.
I like JDM cars but its a fad like 22" wheels or color changing paint.

I can't see the CL ad here at work so there might be more to this car than I can tell from the pictures. At any rate, I'm not seeing what the great attention to detail is. The car looks dirty and worn and nothing seems exceptionally well done about it.




This is not my cup of tea

The over all look of the car is factory. By clean I mean uncluttered, sanitary. There isn't blue convoluted tubing covering every piece of vacuum line, fuel line and coolant hose on the car. No stupid paint with dragons and shooting stars and poke mon's on the side. No body kit trying to make it look like a 325i. If one didn't know better you would think the car was born that way. A lot of times the things that make a car cool aren't blatantly obvious. It's the things that you you don't notice.

I don't know that it's worth twelve g's either. But a modified cars value is speculative and the car is only worth what some one is willing to pay for it.

if you ad up what the parts cost there is WAAAAY more then 12K into that car. a k20 swap is atleast 5-6K Then the Front end another 1500-2K so right there your at 8ish So it's worth it, and it will sell to someone.

Eh, not my cup of tea either. I'd actually rather have a stock kouki 240.

It is clean though. Can't argue with that.
